Lightning Detection Systems in NPB

The Village of North Palm Beach Parks and Recreation Department has 4 Thor Guard Lightning Prediction units.

The Thor Guard units are located at:

Anchorage Park - monitored 8:00 am - 10:00 pm

Osborne Park - monitored 8:00 am - 9:00 pm

Community Center - monitored 7:00 am - 9:00 pm

NPB Country Club - monitored 7:00 am - 8:00 pm

When the Thor Guard system alarm sounds, all facilities temporarily close until the all clear signal is given. We ask that you seek appropriate shelter which includes the following:

Inside buildings

Hard top vehicles

Other lightning protected facilities and amenities

As a last resort - seek low-lying areas

If you live close to one of the above facilities, you may hear the horn alarms going off. One long blast signals that lightning is in the area - seek shelter. Horn will give 3 short blasts signaling it is all clear and you can resume outdoor activity. When system is under storm warning, a flashing yellow light continuously strobes until the all clear signal has been given.
